Manchester Queer Beer Club

2026 has had a rough start and there’s a new crisis every time you look at the news! “Anarchy in the uk”? more like Anarchy across the world! Sometimes you just wanna bury your head in the sand, but that’s not gonna change anything!
Canal street kings presents: VEXXED.
Friday 29th of May 2026
At The Brewers Canal street
Doors open at 6:30pm
Starts @ 7pm Sharp
Canal street kings has always put our money where our mouth is, by consistently supporting charities which positively contribute to our community. But this month, alongside your usual opportunity to donate to; Stonewall Housing, Equality network, Mosaic LGBT+ YP trust, The Kaleidoscope Trust and Galop when you purchase your ticket, we will also be collecting donations for Samaritans, a uk based charity which offers essential anonymous support for anyone in crisis.
This is a night for the grit, the noise, and the absolute chaos of just existing as a queer person right now.
We’ll be drawing inspiration from the Punk movement of the late 1970’s as well as M. Worley’s book No Future: …

Emphasising the importance of community and collective action in creating social change.
Showing that queers in MCR and beyond are determined to challenge the status quo and make a positive impact on the world by being visible, being together and being LOUD. We’re stronger together.
We’re calling out for new acts and marginalised performers to fill our open stage this month. This is your space to spill it.
Got a poem that feels like a punch? A song that’s raw and real? An artistic expression which gives you release? Cathartism so chaotic it makes the room spin?
Bring it! No gatekeepers, no "professional" standards.
Just you, the mic, and five minutes of whatever you need to get off your chest.
TKMAXXIMUS will be hosting this month and is ready to tear the roof off!!
It’s a drag show, but make it PUNK.
Think heavy boots, sharp silhouettes, battle jackets and the total dismantling of “gender norms” or whatever the fuck that’s supposed to be.

Don’t be Dick and Kindness is King

Come as you are, Whether that’s covered in studs, wrapped in lace, or just wearing the shirt you slept in. DIY isn’t a look; it’s a lifestyle.
Stop swallowing the anger. Come spit it out instead.
VEXXED: Where 1977’s grit meets 2026 angst.
